It was nice to take a break, not just from blogland but also from social media. Spending time with family, friends, and just us was marvelous.
We also tuned out all the despair that was swallowing us whole. Try it, turn off the tv, turn off the smart phones, and all its media. Enjoy the quiet moments. The “nothing” that surrounds you is remarkable.
Travel
We even did some traveling. We visited family in Denver and we all went for a ride in Rocky Mountain National Park.
We drove to a high point of 12,835 ft. elevation! We were very close to heaven.
Incredible sights surrounded us.
We looked everywhere for wildlife. We saw NOTHING until we were at the Starbucks parking lot and saw this.
Back at Home
When we returned home, I walked by the lake on a crisp, foggy morning. It was lovely to see that the trees were beginning to show their vibrant fall colors.
Other signs of Autumn are showing up for the parade of colors.
Cozy Living
“Home isn’t a place, its a feeling.” ~unknown
“Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things!” ~Robert Brault
We have been welcoming the beauty of Autumn while cherishing the daily simple pleasures that enrich our lives. We have two signs in our home that give us this daily reminder.
Simple Pleasures
Focusing on the joy around us helps keep out the disorder in the world.
“Life brings simple pleasures to us every day. It is up to us to notice them and make them wonderful memories.” ~Cathy Allen
